This weekend, law enforcement around the state is ramping up their efforts with saturation patrols and DWI roadblocks.

On Friday night, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office performed a DWI checkpoint on Central Avenue. Authorities told Action News they stopped nearly 900 cars passing through the area and arrested four people on driving while intoxicated charges.

Police said they seized one car and handed out 194 citations for various offenses. Sgt. Aaron Williamson said those numbers are pretty typical, but said they expect to catch more people drinking and driving on Saturday night.

Police said they would have early evening patrols Saturday and then a roadblock late at night. As of 5 p.m., police had caught one DWI offender. They said that person was passed out at the intersection of Lomas and Eubank boulevards.
